Scythe being straightened with a tinman's or saw setting hammer
Shaping a horse shoe
Working the bellows
Scythe straightening
There's a hammer there somewhere
A little help from a large hammer
A job well done
Faster than the camera.
Straightening a scythe blade
Hammer at the ready
Happy at the bellows
Happy hammering
The big hammer at the ready
Cooling down
A hot job working the bellows
Scythe straightening tools
The scythe tools
Starting again
Another shoe on the way
Two hammers are better than one
With hammer at the ready
Hot work
Making a horse shoe
Scythe straightening
The horse shoe progressing
At the ready
Too fast to photograph.
